Jewellery

For my “something old“, I’ll be wearing my Nana’s thruppenny-bit bracelet. It was my mother’s “something borrowed” on her wedding day. When my Nana said that she could keep it, she didn’t want to because then it wouldn’t have been borrowed, so instead I later inherited it. It certainly counts as something old, with the oldest coin being from 1902 at the start of King Edward VII‘s reign. The other eight coins were minted between 1913 and 1936, during the reign of King George V. The four oldest coins are sterling silver. The ones produced in the 1930s are 50% silver, at least according to Wikipedia.
For my “something new“, I’m still undecided. Perhaps something like this Swarovski Tiara, but the matching necklace I tried on looked too big and it would be hard to find something else which went with it.
